Lesson
Identifying the Different Kinds
1 of Proportions
Proportion is the relationship between two quantities. Numerical values are
used to represent this relationship, and, in most cases, these numbers are used to
compare things and people or even time and distance.
What’s In
DIRECTIONS: Read the problem carefully. On a separate sheet of paper, write your
answers to the questions below. Please do not write anything on the
module.

What’s New
DIRECTIONS: Read the problem carefully. On a separate sheet of paper, write your
answers to the questions below. Please do not write anything on the
module.
You and your sister decided to go the market to buy ingredients for baking a
cake. One of the things that you listed to buy in the supermarket is egg. You saw
that a dozen of egg cost ₱220 and you need to make 4 cakes for your relatives.
Questions:
3. If your uncle asked you for an additional 2 more cakes, how many total eggs do
you need to make all those cakes?
4. How much will you cost for the eggs with that additional two more cakes?
Let’s start!

IDENTIFYING THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PROPORTION AND
WRITING PROPORTIONS
What is It
DIRECT PROPORTION has two values that may vary but the ration between them
remains the same. In this proportion, as one value decreases, the other value also
decreases and as one increases, the other also increases.
Note: To know the partitioned value of each variable, multiply the value of x to each of them.
To identify whether the given situation shows direct, inverse and partitive
proportion, you must need to:
9
Second, identify the relationship between the variables
Problem 1. A 200 grams of mango cost ₱20. How much will 1,200 grams cost?
The relationship between these variable shows that as the grams of mango
increases, the price of the mango also increases. Thus, it shows that there is a Direct
Proportion in the problem.
Problem 2. Michelle can type 300 words in 5 minutes. How many words can she type
in 10 minutes?
The relation between the variables shows that as Michelle spends longer time
in typing, the greater number of words she can type. Thus, it shows Direct Proportion.
Problem 4. Five people can paint a fence in 4 hours. How long will it take for 8 people to
paint it?
When there is an addition to the number of painters, the time for the fence to
be painted will lessen. Thus, the problem shows Inverse Proportion.

Problem 5. Kim wants to donate ₱300,000 to three different foundations in the ratio of
1:2:3. How much will each foundation receive?
In this problem, Kim will split the money into 3 different foundations wherein
each will receive unique amount. Thus, this shows Partitive Proportion since there is a
partition that’s happening.
1x : 2x : 3x = ₱300,000
1x + 2x + 3x = ₱300,000
Problem 6. A large pizza is divided into 16 slices. The ratio of the slices of pizza that the
four children received is 1:1:2:2. How many slices does each child receive?
There is a partition in the pizza wherein the child may get different number of
pizza slices. Therefore, the proportion shown here is Partitive Proportion.
1x : 1x : 2x : 2x = 16
1x + 1x + 2x + 2x = 16
